Pairing Apple watch series 3 to iPhone 6

When I try and pair Warch series 3 with iPhone 6 I first get message to update ios for watch then very quickly this is followed by another message to update phone ios. Then it unpairs.

Phone already has latest ios 12.4.3.

I spent 2 hours on phone with Apple support and still not resolved.

Any ideas what to do?
